There was some intense racing happening at the Tamiya TCS North American Finals this past weekend with every racer being so evenly matched. To be eligible to race in the North American Finals, you would have had to of finished in the top 10 in one of the regional races held across America. There were some fast racers from as far as the Midwest and Canada. If you finished 2nd place last year and you thought to yourself that you were next in line to take the top podium spot and go to Japan the following year; think again, there’s always that one determined racer that steps it up. I’m all for that, because it’s those determined racers that kick up the progression at TCS and make it more challenging every year and in my book, that’s what makes it fun. – Joel Navarro
